00:00If it was not for the love and respect shown to me by black women, those right-wing, ultra-conservative,
00:08alt-right haters in this country, they would have me believe I'm too black, I'm too confrontational,
00:23I'm too tough, and I'm too disrespectful of them.
00:26But now I know I'm simply a strong black woman.
00:31I am you, and you are me.
00:36We have power, we have influence.
00:40We can do things that others have told us we can't do.
00:44I don't care how big you are.
00:47I don't care how high you think you are.
00:51If you come for me, I'm coming for you.
00:54Whether it's the President of the United States of America or any of his cabinet, we will
01:03say to them, we will resist you.
01:06We will not allow you to damage this country in the way that you're doing.
01:11We will not allow you to take us backwards.
01:15Not only will we resist you, we will impeach you, Mr. President.
01:20I said and I'll say it over and over again, reclaiming my time.
